5.0 out of 5 stars
A unique and much-needed book on the RCAF,
By Robert Bracken (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metal Canvas: Canadians and World War II Aircraft Nose Art (Hardcover)
Steve Fochuk has done an excellent job on a difficult to research project. While the USAAF is famous for its "nose-art", by which is usually meant the embellishment of drab, camouflaged military aircraft with personal artwork - cartoons, beautiful girls, etc, the RCAF is not known for having much of this artwork. Yet, it was there, on the Spitfires, Lancasters, Halifax's and all the many other aircraft operated by the RCAF. Some of the artwork was so outstanding, that some panels from scrapped aircraft were saved for museums, and Steve Fochuk has included some colour photos of these originals in his book. For all those who say "only the Yanks had artwork on their 'planes, we can now refer them to Steve's excellent book.
